After it came to light that President Trump's son-in-law and White House adviser Jared Kushner was being investigated in relation to the FBI probe, the Democratic National Committee have asked for his security clearance to be suspended until further notice. In a statement, the DNC said "The FBI's Russia investigation reached Trump's backyard, and now it's in his house. Kushner's security clearance should be suspended until the FBI's findings are complete." Points of focus that pertain to Kushner include: the Trump campaign's 2016 data analytics operation; his relationship with former national security adviser Michael Flynn; and Kushner's own contacts with Russians, according to US officials briefed on the probe.
